A Builder's Journal: Code, Culture, and Curious Thoughts — by HAUG Broadcasting Service

HAUGH BS ™ is a publication by Software Engineer, designer and indie hacker, Ronan Haughey, that covers everything from code, technology and design to lifestyle and everyday things. Basically the ramblings of someone trying to find their feet in this mad world.

Here you'll find practical guides for developers, honest takes on the indie hacker journey, and resources that actually help you build better. From deep dives into coding practices to tips for fellow designers, mixed with life observations and cultural insights.

The journal now expands into lifestyle territory, featuring:

Gear Reviews: Honest assessments of tools, gadgets, and equipment that actually improve your workflow and life

Fashion Perspectives: Thoughts on sustainable style, functional wardrobes for creators, and finding your personal aesthetic in a digital world

Book Recommendations: Curated reading lists spanning technical manuals, business wisdom, design thinking, and fiction that inspires creativity

Whether you're building your freelance business, looking to level up your tech skills, navigate the startup landscape, enjoy stories from the trenches of digital creation, or seeking lifestyle inspiration from a fellow maker, HAUG BS delivers authenticity without the fluff.

Join me as I share lessons learned from both successful and failed client projects, strategies for building a sustainable freelance practice, the real talk about balancing the indie maker life with client work, and the everyday objects, styles, and reads that fuel this creative journey.
